RAID Mode Switches M2, M1, M0 (SW1:3 – SW1-5)
The RAID Mode switches define what type of RAID will be initialized when the
unit is powered up while the RAID Mode button is held down. Each type of RAID
has different properties and requirements, as follows:
NOTES:
1. Audible Alarm is recommended at all times.
2. EZ mode has no effect when no array is defined.
3. Disabling EZ for RAID 0 and LARGE is strongly recommended.
Configuring the Port Multiplier Using the JMicron RAID Manager
Windows users may install the JMicron HW RAID Manager application located
on the SATA Controller CD, or download it from
http://addonics.com/drivers/driver_list.php. In the CD, browse to Configuration
Utilities → JMB393.
Mac and Linux users may download those versions of the same utility from
http://addonics.com/drivers/driver_list.php under “Port Multiplier & Hub.” The
JMicron RAID Manager can be used to create, modify, and monitor the health
status of the RAID drives, and provide status alerts with dialog boxes and even
email. When configuring the RAID mode using the RAID Manager application, it
is strongly recommended to leave the dip switch in the factory default setting.
Setting or Modifying the RAID Mode
This procedure briefly describes the steps for using the Jmicron RAID Man-
ager's Basic Mode to create an array. The example shown is a LARGE set.
There are other options available in the Advanced Modes, including building
arrays using specified drives, setting up email notifications, and updating the
firmware – which are not discussed in this user guide.
After starting the Jmicron RAID Manager, the first screen will show the status of
any Port Multipliers detected and any drives connected. Shown below is a Port
Multiplier with a variety of five drives connected:
On the left pane is “Controller 1” which is the first port multiplier detected by the
software. Shown in a tree view are the five drives, listed as P0-P4. These are
currently individual drives. On the right pane is a listing of the drives and below
that is a graphical view of each drive. “Disk 1” through “Disk 4” indicate which
physical port the drive is connected to. For the AD5HPMSXA, AD5HPMRXA-E,
and AD5HPMREU this refers to ports P0-P4. On the CPR5SA unit, this refers to
HD0-HD4. On the AD5EHPMEU3 this refers to D1-D5. On RAID Tower products
this relates to the drives mounted left to right or top to bottom, except in cases
where a drive map is included showing otherwise.
